Two ISPs one ADSL line

[Nick333]

Howdy.

I'm presently staying in my sisters flatlet and considering my internet options. Is there a way to use two ISP accounts through one router without having to dial up for at least one of the accounts? The idea is to cause as little inconvenience for my sister and her family. IOW I'd like them to be able to connect to the internet the same way they always have. I obviously don't mind dialing up from my PC.

Yes, it's quite easy to do. Enable half-bridge mode on the router and use their account details in the router. Whenever you need access you can just dial a connection from your PC.

They have a 4mb line? If you don't want to bother them, that might be best to avaoid congestion at peak usage times...

Pause the torrents etc...

Cool, thanks. Just what I wanted to hear.A cheap, easy, hassle free solution.

Lol. Ja its a 4mb. Even so I'd still be pretty happy raping some local bandwidth on a 4mb line for 8 hours every night.

Ok, so it turns out the router is a telkom mega 100wr, so no half-bridge mode. Is there another way to set up two accounts on this router? Or is it time for a new router? What's a good router to use? Preferably not too expensive.
